Wireless Internet at Airports

[JanetRose]

Does anyone know if you can get wireless internet at airports for free?

I know BWI has it. You could probably go to the specific airport's website and see if they have info listed there.

Kimya's right- each airport can be different, so you'll have to research each airport you're interested in.

I know there's wireless at DFW, but it's not free.

I know it's free at the airport in Colorado Springs.

I found a great article about wireless access at airports, who the providers are at different locations, and lists the costs.

I know Bismarck, ND...Portland, OR...Seattle, WA are free...Logan in Boston and Philly aren't...they are $9.95 to sign in for 24 hours.

That's the deal I've encountered most often. I think that's what the T-Mobile Hotspot locations all charge.

That's a great site...what I've noticed is that the smaller airports have it for free and most of the the larger "big city" airports charge the fee.

Strangely enough, my loacl airport, which has a whopping 10 gates has free wireless. St Louis? No wireless.

My 19 year old just clued me in to this, Jet Blue offers free wireless. So you just need to find the Jet Blue terminal, if there is one. He also said it can be a pretty weak signal so you need to get close to it. I know he was able to get onto it in Orlando and a few other airports, no password or anything like that needed.

ETA- I also know that he has used it at airports that ALSO have pay for service plans avaliable. Free is always good in my book. I wish I had know a few weeks earlier...

Pittsburgh and Orlando both have free wireless.
